Jude’s was founded in honor my mother, Judi Brown. She was an
art maven, piano bar aficionado, devout people-person and
absolute riot of a woman.

My wife, Courtney, and I are the owners of Columbia City’s
Lottie’s Lounge and long-time residents of the Rainier Beach
area. When the opportunity to open a sister establishment in our
own neighborhood presented itself, we jumped at it. We,
ourselves, have always desired a place nearby with good food,
cold beer and a laid back environment. So we’re dropping anchor
on 57th Avenue South with the ambition of becoming
Rainier Beach’s go-to, family-friendly neighborhood bar. We look
forward to having Jude’s serve the community as a great dining
and drinking destination, as wells as a meeting ground for the
exchange of ideas, conversation, and Rainier Beach pride.
